How to find targets?

There are many ways to get your hands on good company data.
There are also plenty of ways to reach out to companies and see if they’d be open to a chat about a potential acquisition.

The initial challenge is figuring out how to build a valid, high-quality list of target companies that actually fit your specific search criteria – your buy box.

 

Thousands of providers offer help here: lead generation tools that spit out endless results based on simple filters, pricey databases selling enriched data for thousands of dollars a year, and, of course, standard search engines like Google.

They all have one thing in common: they deliver bulk data with a high noise-to-signal ratio.

Companies that aren’t a fit.
Companies that have already been sold.
Companies already owned by private equity. Filtering all that out usually requires tedious manual research.

 

That’s why we decided to open up our own tool – the Target Finder – to everyone.

It analyzes the buyer’s specific buy box and runs an intelligent search, yielding pre-qualified results ready for immediate outreach.
It’s a massive time-saver. No more blasting out thousands of emails and praying something sticks.

Targeted. Focused. Verified.
